Fans of the Diablo franchise had waited 10 years for Diablo III, the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Diablo II, but when they tried to log into the game they were greeted with the now infamous “Error 37” glitch.

In an effort to curb the rampant piracy of most PC games, Blizzard opted to force players to maintain a constant internet connection and log into Blizzard’s servers in order to play the game. In theory, this shouldn’t be an issue–the tactic is becoming the standard with many PC games. But when hundreds of thousands of dedicated fans tried to log in at 12:01 EST. on May 15th, the game’s servers were overloaded and crashed.

This caused many gamers to proclaim their hate for Diablo on Twitter causing the hashtag #error37 to trend. Metacritic’s Diablo III scores also plumeted as angry gamers voiced negative opinions on a game most of them hadn’t even played yet. Today, the issues the game was experiencing at launch seem to be gone, though some gamers are now reporting that their accounts are getting hacked.

On the bright side, Diablo III’s “Error 37” has spawned a hilarious internet meme. To tide you over until our review of the game next week here’s a collection of the top Diablo III memes around.
